The Boeing that pulled the CSeries shenanigans and the KC-46 shenanigans is entirely capable of selling these planes at 60 million dollars apiece to a foreign carrier. I'll go one step further and say these planes were probably financed through the export-import bank IE the US taxpayers all in the ...

10 feet lower could have been tragedy, congratulating the pilots is premature to me it looks as if they were the cause of too much correction at the last minute at too low an altitude. I'd like to know the total time of both pilots in the cockpit, is the right seat a cadet position?

With a fleet approaching 20 years it is about time to order a bunch of 777F’s Good site for overview: https://www.lh-taufnamen.de/cargo/ Would not be surprised to see them order 10, and 5 options within the next couple of years. They had a chance to buy used 777F's and AeroLogic bought them instead.

Russians spy ...Russia is a shady counry. It should come as no surprise that they have copied the designs of other manufacturers. Why would they be SO obvious about it though ?? ATR, 146, F27 ... these are all planes they've ripped off the designs for .. keep denying it. But look at the pic of the ...

Seriously with some people here, Interjet literally added a bunch of capacity to the US just a few days ago... PVR, SJD, BJX to LAX... Poor research in some Posts above and fictionally calling Mexico a war zone. We get it you hate Mexico just get some tacos and tequila and get over it. is it senior...

Yeah, I'm sorry, but I also don't quite understand your point about the US government and its specific impact on Interjet. Can you flesh this out a bit? I'm no fan of the current He-who-shall-not-be-named , and perfectly understand the dim view he openly expresses for the southern neighbors, and th...

I would have thought some Middle Eastern Emir, Sheikh, etc..., would have ordered one because he can. I would argue, no one needs it, certainly but again, why not if you can afford it and your citizens will not revolt. budgets are tightening and the rulers are more afraid than ever of being overthr...

I don't think US tourist travel to Mexico has dropped at all - that's not what you mean, right? well yeah, a little - as I stated, I am aware of the drop in Mexican tourism to the US (lets be honest, it was quite predictable after the US election), I am actually surprised it is only 16% . "jus...

What does the American government have to do with this? Are you really asking me to spell out for your a reason why the current American government might not be helping LCC growth to and from Mexico? Yeah, I'm sorry, but I also don't quite understand your point about the US government and its speci...

You are limited not by if you have gates or "tall stairs" but the A380 requires specifics for taxiways and runway dimensions and weight limits. I think a couple private A380's are still on the order books though.

Perhaps México isn’t but quite the market for a premium LCC? The current American government and endless cartel violence I do not think is welcoming to tourist and small business growth. What does the American government have to do with this? Are you really asking me to spell out for your a reason ...

Direct consequence of the Kurdish vote for independence. The next phase of the continual conflict is Kurdish viz Iraqi and that going to embolden those ISIS again tragic really as the northern and eastern areas has be relatively peaceful and stable to date. Iraqi are currently operating theirs week...

I don't get it, how would the Air Force compel unwilling people to join up? Also how motivated and effective will a bunch of conscripts be against a determined enemy? Won't they just be cannon fodder?? As determined as an enemy can be if they have no air force the pilot's feelings do not matter. Yo...

It's something -- for all of the furor over patriotism lately, you'd think folks would maybe be a little better at it/could get things right. Better at "it"? It is having "patriotism" to sing the national anthem inappropriately on a flight carrying a dead solder? Trying to one-u...

Way back in the day around 1981 or 1982 I used to fly for C & M airlines based in IYK. Far different in those times with a glut of underpaid pilots and probably more defense spending, there was quite a demand between IYK and LAX as well as Edwards AFB, Palmdale, and even Barstow. San Diego and ...

Global supertanker was here in Chile a few months ago and there is no doubt about how good it is. Initially there were concerns about operating such a big aircraft at low altitudes in the complex terrain we have here, but definitely the flight crew is fantastic and did a great job, I’m completely s...

under the comments section of the news link , a weapons base employee or duty member mentioned how the flights did not appear thru their booking channel and caused issues for reimbursement. I don't think the military folks get to just search all over the Intranet for business travel , but rather ar...

Why does this surprise or upset anyone? (AWACSooner) The name of the game is to make money.... that's if your a share holder. The name of the game for the consumer is cheap airfare AND comfort which is why Delta wins. I wouldn't fly in the back of a UA widebody plane for free. your share holder what?

Billions in profits from the ancillary fees and economy minus scam, and they still stick it to the customer...thank you shareholders. Just wondering what you consider to be proper profit margin, maybe I can tell UA management so they can make you happy and not the people who own the company a.k.a. ...

I am not sure where KQ made its fatal mistake but clearly, the expensive fleet and network expansion has come back to haunt it the last several years with deepening losses since 2013. They expanded just as fossil fuel prices on the world markets started collapsing hurting the economy of the resourc...

RIP On 777 freighter flights, at what point do they add relief pilots? At 6-7 hours, this AUH-AMS flight was sort of mid-range and makes some sense it was only a crew of 2. Did you open the link and read the story? It says a crew of 4. I did. Could have sworn it read 2 earlier. My fault, thanks for...
